**WORST MASCARA I'VE EVER BOUGHT**I bought Maybelline's "Great Lash Waterproof Hydrofuge" mascara. I was having trouble finding waterproof mascara, so I bought this. Worst mistake ever. It NEVER stays on my lashes. It smears under my eyes and all day long I'm checking to see if I have raccoon eyes! Then it's extremely hard to get off my skin (even with the recommended remover) Maybe if it stayed on my lashes like it does underneath my eyes it would be worth it!
If I train myself not to blink, do you think it would stay on my lashes better?!

Severe Allergic ReactionI’ve used great lash for years. I typically use the pink bottom green top. I recently bought the one with the black top, and then this happened.

Not hypoallergenicIt says the great lash mascara is hypoallergenic but is 100% not! I used it and my eye lids have been red, itchy and swollen for 2 days now! I had the product on for less then 4 hours until I had to take it off due to my eye lids itching!

Unbelievably waterproofI bought this from the drug store about two months ago, and have only used it a handful of times since. I initially though it was going to be some garbage mascara because it was the cheapest and furthest in the back of the store on the bottom rack, but like I said I rarely use it so I though what the heck. Fast forward to today, I had a full blown anxiety attack, complete with snot running down my face and ugly crying that would put Toby Maguire to shame. I had a constant stream of tears for a solid three minutes in between intermingled sobs and after I had calmed down I was amazed to see my lashes where still perfect. No black smearing or dripping. My lashes weren’t even stuck together. I have half a mind to wear it in a swimming pool because there’s a great chance that that sucker won’t come off. Absolutely outstanding waterproofieness. 12/10 would recommend :)

SmudgesI used Great Lash mascara back in my younger days and loved it. Was using another brand for the past severl years but had a coupon and saw Great Lash and thought I'd give it a try because of fond memories. Not sure what you did with the formula but every time I put it on and I blink, it smudges badly under both eyes. I would rather use no mascara than Great Lash mascara. I have tried several times now with the same results. Waste of my money. Very disappointed.

Best mascara I’ve ever used.I tried this mascara for the first time ever about a year and a half ago and i have been addicted since! My lashes rarely ever hold a curl but with one coat of this they stay up for the whole day or until i wash it off. My lashes look long and super natural. Theres almost never clumps and its just a super smooth formula. It might not for you if you want your lashes to look super dramatic and thick but if you want natural yet dark long lahes i totally reccomend it!

I second the request to bring back brown. I&rsquo;ve been loyal to this product for over 30 years. Nothing compares. However, as a fair skinned, blue eyed, blonde, your current shades are too harsh. Begging. Please! Bring back brown!!

I have been using Great Lash waterproof Mascara for over 45 years. I have noticed the last two or so years, that by the end of the day my eyes are irritated, itchy and red from the mascara. I have been wondering if Maybelline changed the formula!!?
